Solids

Starting solids: when to begin and what to track

Logging a new food in the Malyatko journal

Solids are a big, messy, exciting step. Introducing foods one at a time — and writing them down — makes it easy to see what your baby loves and to catch any reaction early.

When to start

Most babies are ready around 6 months, when they can sit with support, hold their head steady and show interest in food. Signs of readiness matter more than the exact date.

One at a time: introduce a single new food and wait 2–3 days before the next, so any reaction is easy to trace.

What to log

How to track solids in Malyatko

  1. Tap Solids and note the food and reaction.
  2. Everything is saved in your journal with a date.
  3. Scroll back any time to review preferences and possible allergens.

Keep milk feeds going alongside solids — log them under feeding as usual.

Track every new food

Log foods and reactions so preferences and allergies are easy to see.
